Z's to wear "Stars & Stripes" caps on the 4th

Minor League Baseball raising money for Welcome Back Veterans
By
July 1, 2016

For the seventh consecutive year, Minor League Baseball teams will honor America and help raise much-needed funds for a worthy cause this Independence Day holiday weekend by wearing specially-designed "Stars & Stripes" caps from New Era Cap Company.

A total of 128 teams will wear the specialty caps as part of fundraising and awareness initiatives for Welcome Back Veterans, an organization dedicated to addressing the ongoing needs of military personnel and their families.

Minor League Baseball, in conjunction with its licensing partner Major League Baseball Properties, will once again donate 100 percent of the proceeds from cap sales to Welcome Back Veterans as part of its contribution to the program. Since the program's inception in 2010, MiLB has contributed annually to the veterans' organization. The cap design features a white star patterned background and a patriotic theme. They can be purchased in team stores of participating teams, and online on some teams' websites.

"We are honored to show our appreciation for the members of our armed forces this Fourth of July Weekend through The Stars & Stripes cap program," said Minor League Baseball President & CEO Pat O'Conner. "It is one small way we can contribute to Welcome Back Veterans and honor America."
